Job Description

Sr Electrical Engineer, Design Readiness Team (Contract)

Position Summary:

The Senior EE Design Readiness Engineer will be a part of the R&D organization and an important contributor to the realization of the next generation robotic platform that will change the future of healthcare.
You will be a highly visible technical resource working on the transition of electrical assemblies and components from prototype to verification & clinical builds and testing, in close collaboration with manufacturing engineering.
This role is suited for an R&D engineer with experience in developing, building, and testing complex electro-mechanical medical devices, design transfer, and process validation with broad knowledge of electrical, mechatronics, firmware, software, and systems engineering, including design verification testing, and transfer to manufacturing within a regulated medical device development environment.

Key Responsibilities:

Being a key team member working on design readiness of the electrical aspects of a robotic system
Support development of assembly and test/screening processes for electrical assemblies and components
Support identification of, specification creation for, development and characterization of in-line test and build fixtures for electrical assemblies and components
Support development and maintenance of the BOM and DMR
Support of troubleshooting and root cause investigations of electromechanical subsystems using excellent methodologies and thoroughly documenting the analyses.
Specify electrical, firmware and software development requirements for test and build fixtures
Author relevant documents such as build process, assembly instructions, inspection procedures, test protocols, test reports, analyses, and system documentation
Support a variety of multi-disciplinary technical and process improvement projects of different sizes and scopes
Analyze, test, and recommend refinements for DFx such as reliability, testability, and manufacturability.
Support creation of DHF and release of documentation to quality system
